Maybe Kovid or Starson or someone else will chime in and answer this for you and I. I don't see why the below doesn't work but that's not saying it does either.

Spoiler:

Basically in the above it SHOULD look for all anchor tags (links) in your soup and then do a regexpression lookup for all instances of " insider the href reference. If it find it replace that value with %22 which is html for a double quote. Again this may not work but I didn't really have anything to test it on other than your code but the code didn't generate any links that had " in it so I wasn't really able to test it. Give a shot and see what happens for you.
